Using the Hadith of 'Ammar as Evidence for Qiyas
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Shaykh: Does not the Hadith of 'Ammar provide a benefit, or is it abrogated, regarding the legitimacy of seeking a ruling through qiyas (analogical reasoning)?
Answer:
Rather, we stated that it is evidence that ijtihad (independent legal reasoning) took place during his time (peace and blessings be upon him), and this ijtihad is qiyas, because he analogized the purity of tayammum (dry ablution with clean earth) to the purity of water.
